While the bilateral trade volume between China and U.S. has been growing rapidly, the trade deficits of U.S. to China has also been expanding. This growing trade deficit of U.S. to China has several reasons: the increase of foreign direct investment to China, the transfer of trade deficit origins, the intervention of U.S. domestic politics to China-U.S. trade relations, and U.S. direct control on export to China. However, the increased U.S. trade deficit to China does not mean that U.S. is in a disadvantaged position in its economic relations with China, or its international competitiveness is deteriorating. When U.S. surplus in service trade to China is included, the picture would be very different. Also, as internationalization progresses and China's industrial structure adjusts, the trade deficit of U.S. to China would narrow.

Korea is one of the most advanced countries in terms of nation-wide readiness for conducting complex trade processes in an electronic way. Since various trade processes are well-known for their complexity and cost as well as time consuming characteristics due to required collaborations with involving parties, automation and efficiency are always the main concern of trade-related practitioners. Using information technology can be a possible solution to this problem and Korea has developed the national e-trade infrastructure called "u-Trade Hub." In this paper, we propose the framework to enhance the national integrated e-trade system called "u-Trade Hub," which is ready to be released for commercial use in near future. We propose the framework to upgrade u-Trade Hub in four directions: (1) opening, (2) strengthening community feature, (3) modularization, (4) seeking profitability. In this paper, we study and compare national e-trade environment of other countries such as Singapore and Japan. Then, we analyze and design the enhanced e-trade infrastructure based on Web 2.0.

본 연구는 2008년 중반 이후 중소기업의 수출입 업무에 uTradeHub 시스템이 도입된 이래 해당 시스템의 유용성과 사용자 만족도를 점검한다는 차원에서 i) uTradeHub 수용요인에 따른 시스템의 유용성과 사용자 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고, ii) 시스템의 유용성이 사용자 만족도에 미치는 영향관계를 분석함으로써 향후 uTradeHub 시스템을 도입하고자 하는 무역업체가 시스템 도입과정에서 간과하기 쉬운 uTradeHub의 수용요인을 효율적으로 관리하여 도입한 시스템의 성과를 최대화할 수 있도록 도움을 주고자 하였다. 설문조사를 통해 수집한 112개의 유효응답 자료를 SPSS 19.0 통계패키지를 이용하여 실증분석 하였으며, 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 시스템의 유용성에 유의한 영향을 미치는 uTradeHub 수용요인으로는 상대적 이점, 사용의 편리성, 업무적합성, CEO의 지원, IT인프라 성숙도, 교육/훈련 정도 등이었다. 둘째, 사용자 만족도에 영향을 미치는 uTradeHub 수용요인으로는 상대적 이점, 업무적합성, CEO의 지원, IT인프라 성숙도, 교육/훈련 정도 등이었다. 셋째, 시스템의 유용성은 사용자 만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 결과를 보였다.

Global trade protectionism has increased further and U.S. priorities and protectionism have strengthened since Trump took office in 2017. Trump administration is actively implementing tariff measures based on U.S. domestic trade laws rather than the WTO rules and regulations. In particular, the American government has recently been imposing high tariffs due to national security and imposing economic sanctions on other countries' imports. According to the U.S. Trade Expansion Act Section 232, the American government imposed additional tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to WTO member countries such as China, India, and EU etc. on march 15, 2018. Thus, this study aims to investigate whether the U.S. Trade Expansion Act Section 232 is consistent with GATT/WTO rules by comparing the legal basis of US / China / WTO regulations related to Section 232 of the U.S. Trade Expansion Act, and gives some suggestions for responding to the Section 232 measure. As the Section 232 measure exceeded the scope of GATT's Security Exceptions regulation and is very likely to be understood as a safeguard measure. If so, the American government is deemed to be in breach of WTO's regulations, such as the most-favored-nation treatment obligations and the duty reduction obligations. In addition, American government is deemed to be failed to meet the conditions of initiation of safeguard measure and violated the procedural requirements such as notification and consultation. In order to respond to these U.S. protection trade measures, all affected countries should actively use the WTO multilateral system to prevent unfair measures. Also, it is necessary to revise the standard jurisdiction of the dispute settlement body and to explore the balance of the WTO Exception clause so that it can be applied strictly. Finally, it would be necessary for Chinese exporters to take a counter-strategy under such trade pressure.

무역 분야의 혁신 정보기술인 uTradeHub는 국가 전자무역 통합서비스로서 중소무역업체를 포함한 무역거래당사자들이 추가적인 투자 없이 인터넷을 통해 마케팅, 상역, 외환, 통관, 물류, 대금결제에 이르는 모든 무역 업무를 단절 없이 원스톱으로 처리할 수 있는 서비스를 제공하고 있지만 사용자의 불만이나 외면으로 방치되거나 지속적인 사용이 뒷받침되지 못함으로 인해 그 활용도가 높지 않은 편이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 uTradeHub 사용이 확산되고 있는 시점에서 통합기술수용이론에서 사용된 변인(성과기대, 노력기대, 사회적 영향, 촉진기반)을 uTradeHub의 지속적 사용에도 적용가능한지 이론적 틀을 검증하였다. 또한 이들 간의 관계에서 사용자 만족(매개효과)과 CEO지원(상호작용효과)의 역할을 규명해 봄으로써 uTradeHub 운영 전략 수립에 도움이 되는 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 설문조사를 통해 회수된 응답지 총101부를 실증분석(SPSS 24.0) 자료로 활용하였으며, 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 통합기술수용요인이 사용자 만족에 미치는 영향관계(H1)에서는 성과기대, 노력기대, 사회적 영향만이 사용자 만족에 유의한 영향을 미쳤고, 촉진기반은 유의하지 않았다. 둘째, 사용자 만족이 uTradeHub의 지속적인 사용에 미치는 영향관계(H2)에서는 유의한 결과를 보였다. 셋째, 사용자 만족의 매개효과 검증(H3)에서는 성과기대, 노력기대, 사회적 영향이 사용자 만족을 거쳐 지속적 사용에 영향을 미치는 완전매개효과를 보였다. 넷째, CEO지원의 상호작용 효과 검증(H4)에서는 성과기대와 사회적 영향이 사용자 만족에 미치는 영향관계에서만 상호작용 효과가 나타났다.
